Prohibition Sustained by Reason and
History.

Editor the Voice:
The statistical information as to the evils
of the sale of intoxicants is most valuable
as guide to legislation. It's advocacy of
prohibitory laws is sustained by reason ard
history, for the ancient Grecian and Roman
Republics found them necessary, European
statesmen, especially in France and En-
gland, are urging their adoption, and the
whole history Of American legislation.
State and national, even in license laws, is
based on the principle of prohibition of in
toxicants not only as injurious to health
and property interests. but as robbing Ren
of reason. and directly promoting family
infdelity and social crime.

LOCAL OPTION UPHELD.
An Important Decision Of the California
supreme Court.

An Important Decision of the California
Supreme Court.
A recent decision of the State Supreme
Court marks a new era in the progress Of
the local-option movement in California.
In 1879 new Constitution was adopted, in
which the powers of Boards of Supervisors
in counties and Boards of Trustees in cities
and towns were regulated anew. This
gave authority to city governments in all
classes of cities, and also to county govern
ments, to regulate all police and sanitary
matters" In addition to his provision,
the county government bill contains sew
erai clauses which, without any specific
statement, have been held to allow local
option. have been informed by gentle
man who was delegate to the Constitu-
of the instrument the question arose among
few Of the delegates Us to whether it con-
ferred the privilege of local option; and
that after making an examination of their
work with special reference to that matter
it was conceded that this privilege had
been unwittingly granted to the people.
On Feb. 10, 1887, the Town Trustees of
Pasadena, Los Angeles County, passed a
prohibition ordinance. Saloon-keeper
Campbell was arrested for its violation,
convicted and imprisoned. He sued out a
writ of hdbeas co,.p'ts and carried the cnse
to the Supreme Court. That body, by the
written opinion of Justice Peterson, signed
by Justices NlcKinstry, Thornton, Sharp
stein and Chief Justice Searles Chief
Justice Mcfarland alone dissentins), has
confirmed the ordinance. While the de-
cision applies specifically to cities Of the
sixth class, ii also implies that the whole
State of California is placed under Local
Option, since the same power to regulate
NIL police and sanitary matters" exercised
by the Pasadena authorities is by Law ex-
tended to all Boards of Trustees and Su-
pervisols throughout the State.-tSam Ftan-
ciscO COZ. of the Voice.

Press Opinions.

It is to cast slur upon the moral
sense of the nation to say that Foraker
can ever become formidable candi-
date for the Presidency. His chance
Of getting the Republican nomination
is a different thing altogether, and
something which Republicans must
determine for themselves. For
tunately, the Presidency is not within
the grasp of small-brained blather-
skite quivering with the 'jim-jams''
of sectional hate.-[St. Louis Post
Dispatch, Dem.
There never has been any indica-
ton that the United Labor party, or
the George party, pure and simple,
included any considerable body of la
boring men. An inspection of meet
ing of the Anti-Poverty Society in the
Academy of Music, where Ge ,rge ap-
pears in his true character as land
theorist and not particularly us the
workingman's friend, will show that
the great majority of his followers are
composed, not of laboring men, but of
women, sentimentalists, spiritualists,
free-thinkers, and cranks generally,
all in moderately good circumstances.
-[New York Sun, Ind.
Not alone, therefore, is this timely
and conservative action of the Penn
sylvania Democrats the most notable
of recent political events, but we pre-
sumo that it presages the line ON which
the National issue will be made next
year. The effect, eben with the loss
of the ticket in the State at the ensu-
ing election, will be encouraging and
sustaining to the Demo rats through
out the country, since it foreshadows
the utmost party harmony and the
highest confidence in grand National
contest at the polls Augusta Chron-
icle, Bem.
The Western mining settler is not to
be expected to regard for moment
anything in the form of Indian rights
in competition with prospect of gold
or silver in land assigned by the gov
ernment to the red man. The whole
reservation scheme, therefore, contin-
ues to be delusion and a snare, and
the present alarm would seem to pre-
sent good occasion to Congress when
it meets to attempt some modification
of it, even if it should involve more
breaking up of tribal relations and the
distribution Of families upon smaller
Enthusiastically Eagle, Dem.
Civilization should be old enough in
the United States by this time to create
a public sentiment so powerful as to
render it impossible for either the gov
ernment or individuals to pursue fur
ther the system OF injustice towards
the Indians, whicht has nothing but
age and precedent to excuse it. In
Justice to the Indians has been the
law quite long enough, or rather too
long, and the law of justice should
begin to be recognized, unless this
people are ready to admit that they are
worse, not better, than the un-
tutored Indians they have done SO
much to make murderous savages OF.
We can make no boast of civilization
to which our treatment of the In
dams would not give the lie.-[ -[Phila-

ANAHEIM'S RAILROAD.
General Manager Smith Emphat-
ically Expresses Himself.


The impression, insidiously and in
dustriously circulated by foes at home
and abroad, that the building of the
California Central railroad from Los
Angeles to Anaheim had either been
abandoned or had been temporarily
'laid on the table," led the railroad
committee to write to Chief Engineer
Perris some weeks ago, and his answer
was duly published in these columns.
And yet the chronics were not sat-
isfied, and rumor that Gen.
eral Manager Smith had, in an in
terview with Chicago reporter, said
that the Anaheim road would not be
built, reached the knowledge of Mr..
George H. Fullerton on Thursday of
last week. He Immediately tele-
graped to Mr.. Smith, asking whether
such an interview had occurred and
whether he had expressed himself as
reported. Mr.. Smiths answer was
prompt and decisive. 1t twas sabstan-
TALLY this 1--WE quote from memory :
"Never had interview with Chicago
reporter. Deny rumor most en-
pndtlCaily. AHanelIn TOau Will DC
built as origirally planned and as soon
as possible"
This authoritative and emphatic
declaration Of intentions from head
quarters should be guarantee enough,
but if confirmation is needed it can
be found in the utterance of Major
Bonebrake, who is admitted to know
the plans of the company and only
speaks publicly of those things which
are fixed facts. Major Bonebrake
recently said that the road to Ana
helm would be built Immediately.
From other sources the Gazette
learns that the large force now en-
ployed in grading to Oceanside will
be transferred to the Anaheim line
when Oceanside is reached-in a week
or ten days at furthest. Work will
begin simultaneously at Anaheim and
Los Angeles, and there is every rea-
son to believe that within sixty or
ninety days the roadbed between the
two cities will be graded.-[Anaheim
